Well, Naruto's village might be centered around a large statue of his mentor, like Iruka or Jiraiya. The village's defense system could be based on Naruto's own chakra, perhaps with barriers powered by his Nine - Tails chakra. And the houses would be designed in a way that reflects Naruto's simple and warm - hearted nature, with lots of open spaces for people to interact and have fun.
I think Rock Lee would be there to help. His unwavering dedication would inspire the new villagers. And Hinata, with her kind heart, could help in creating a warm and inclusive community. Maybe even some of the older ninjas like Kakashi could offer their wisdom and experience.
In this fanfiction, Naruto might start by gathering like - minded ninjas. He could choose a location, perhaps a place with natural defenses like a hidden valley. Then, he'd have to establish rules and a system for governance. Maybe he'd base it on his own ideals of friendship and hard work.
Well, Naruto himself would be the first 'inhabitant' in a sense. But soon after, it would be those who believe in his vision. Kakashi might be one of the first. He has always been a guiding figure for Naruto. Then there could be some of the animals Naruto has befriended, like the toads from Mount Myoboku. They could help with various tasks like guarding the outskirts or providing transportation within the village. And the first human inhabitants would also include some of the former prisoners who have reformed, as Naruto believes in second chances.
He would start by gathering like - minded people. Those who believe in his ideals of peace and unity. Then he'd find a suitable location, perhaps a place with natural defenses. After that, he'd start constructing the basic infrastructure like houses and training grounds.
Well, if Naruto makes his own village in the fanfic, it would probably be a place full of hope. Naruto has always been about bringing people together. So his village could be a haven for those who are tired of the old ninja world politics. He'd surely invite all kinds of ninjas from different villages to join, and they would form a very diverse community. And his village might also have a special way of handling conflicts, not with war but with dialogue and understanding.
There would be all kinds of people. Of course, ninjas would be the mainstay. But also, there would be ordinary folks who support the ninja's work. Maybe some are farmers who grow food for the village, and others could be merchants trading goods from different lands. There would also be artisans, like blacksmiths making weapons and tools for the ninjas.
Naruto's combat style becomes more self - reliant. Instead of relying solely on the weapons provided by the village, he can customize his arsenal according to his strengths. If he is good at close - range combat but lacks in long - range attacks, he can create a weapon that bridges that gap, like a projectile weapon with a long - range homing ability.
His friends might feel betrayed. They would be mourning his death while he was actually alive. This could lead to a lot of anger and mistrust when they find out the truth.
He could start by gathering like - minded individuals. Maybe those who share his ideals of hard work and perseverance, like some of the underdogs he befriended throughout his life in the original Naruto story.
